It's pretty clear to me that Chud needs to go. He isn't making any effort to mold his play calling to the offense's tools.

I'm not a big fan of Chip Kelly. I don't understand how anyone could see this option offense fail and then bring him in.

Chip Kelly would not bring the option offense. He only ran it at Oregon because it fit the talent and because he saw weaknesses in the rest of the defenses in his conference. Belichick got a lot of ideas from Kelly, particularly speeding up the tempo and using the digit system for playcalling (something people criticized Cam for pre-draft). A quick way to call plays and get the ball snapped. It killed Denver and defenses cannot keep up typically.

Still though I'm indifferent because he's a college coach for one who will have to come in and it's just a completely different environment. Plus I think he takes a good amount of unnecessary risks. But I'm not as opposed to him now as I would say, last year. He's not at the top of my list though, or even top five. But he's an interesting candidate.

I was at the game today and the biggest take away I got was that the Oline is absolutely pathetic. It needs to be rebuilt, probably from scratch. Cam has zero time and the pocket is collapsing so quickly, he cannot use his legs to escape. Big changes are going to have to be made on the offensive to protect Cam and allow Cam to develop.

Outside of that, the team is lost. I was right behind the Panthers bench and no one was fired up, there's no passion there. Rivera needs to go, the team is lost._________________

i wish on the johnson strip sack play instead of going for the ball CJ went for the one hitter quitter on peyton. you only get a few chances a game to touch the guy at all. when you got him squared up like that you make sure he leaves the game. would have lost anyway but would have kept them from running up the score_________________

As bad as the o-line was, when he did have time, he held on to it until the 4PM games kicked off. It's a two-part problem._________________

Co-sign. Both parts were bad. OLine wasn't giving him much time. When they did give him time, he didn't use it well._________________

you also have to think about how chud loves going deep and only going deep. routes take longer to develop. OL needs to hold longer but can't. and when they do, broncos have solid coverage.

only time it looked like the offense knew what it was doing was when we were under center and having a balanced attack (the two scoring drives). kept defense off balance. got everyone involved. etc. it isn't hard to call a good game with all of this talent, chud. i mean seriously._________________

On another note, the defense still played very well this week. The score does not indicate how well the defense played. 14 of those points were from the Pick 6 and the punt return, not to mention the safety. Putting it into perspective like that, we only allowed the Broncos 13 points from a defensive perspective, which is really good considering how hot Manning has been in recent weeks._________________

Yep. Overall, the defense has been playing well enough for us to win (and in a few cases, not just well enough to win, but well enough to expect to win) over the last month and a half or so. There has been noticeable improvement on that side of the ball. Offense has definitely been lackluster this season. Quite frustrating, though we did see a lot of glimpses of that last year with the consistent inability to muster any meaningful drives coming out of halftime._________________

I really don't think the game was as wide open as the score suggests. I agree with the person who mentioned that the playcalling was poor for the opponent you were playing. Our strength on Defense is getting to the passer, and obviously on 3rd and 5+ we are going to get there very quickly. There weren't enough slants, hitches and quick out routes. Instead you opted for either trickeration (screens, misdirection, QB options) or deep shots; not going to work consistently.

Defensively I was very impressed by your guys up front; you controlled the LOS, and although you only got to Peyton once, you made him step up before he was ready plenty of times. We Bronco fans have been there when it comes to giving up points on Special Teams and your own Offense giving points away, whilst your Defense does its best to hang in there. We had it last year when our QB's were Kyle Orton and you know who.

I think your Offense just needs to go back to basics, a bit like Phil Simms alluded to. More QB under Center, more conventional short/intermediate routes etc. It really didn't help that your Offense stumbled into maybe the most dominant Defensive Bronco performance I have ever seen from Von Miller.

the turning point of the game was the returned punt for a touchdown, that should have been challenged, it killed momentum and put us playing from behind, if that play was challenged and if the playcalling was better on offense, than this would be a close game, that falls on the coach... again how many games we lost last year because of special teams?!

and cam newton is the most bashed player of all time, lol at everybody here saying that he should be gone

so far he has better stats in his first games than Eli Manning and Drew Brees had in their first games...matthew sttaford is playing bad too, has more experience and the top wr in the game but is not bashed this way... playcalling/coaching/OL are atrocious and are killing him... had the best rookie qb season ever and is not playing well in second year (played great some games and really bad in others)

I just cant understand the hate, I honestly believe that even if he wins 5 superbowls people are still going to find a way to bash him

Im not sure if theres any qb in the nfl right now who could be very successfull with the scheme/playcalling/overall coaching mistakes we have now_________________
